If “ball game, take me out to” makes perfect sense to
you, then Star Wars Night at Miller Park on May 13 should top
your to-do list. Character appearances, a post-game laser show and a
Jedi bobblehead giveaway are part of the fun. Oh, and there’s a
baseball game that night too. 1 Brewers Way, (414) 902-4000,

The streets of Story Hill attract a slew of hardcore
bargain hunters for the neighborhood association’s annual rummage
sale. Return customers from near and far have their calendars
marked for Saturday, May 20, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Plan to get there
early, and check out the bargains gracing the driveways of 35 to 40
neighborhood homes.

EAT& DRINK

The “BKC” in Story Hill BKC stands for bottle,
kitchen and cocktail. And although the “K” for kitchen may be second
in the name, the kitchen is arguably the primary focus at this
neighborhood hot spot. Weekend brunch? Try the baked French toast
bread pudding. Happy hour snacks? Order the smoked duck and pear
salad or avocado toast. For dinner, it’s tough to choose between the
homemade flatbreads and an impressive variety of pass-and-share
options, but whatever you pick, save room for the warm cherry
upside-down cake for dessert. The atmosphere is casually elegant,
and the service is warmly attentive too. 5100 W. Bluemound Road,
(414) 539-4424, storyhillbkc.com

Calling Kelly’s Bleachers the ultimate sports
bar would not be an understatement. Typical bar fare includes Macho
Nachos, an overflowing platter topped with everything you can think
of, and Cordon Brewer Balls — deep-fried chicken bites stuffed with
ham and cheese. Burger choices are plentiful, but try the signature
Bleacher Burger, which is topped with lettuce, tomato and cheese and
served with a side of Thousand Island dressing. Shuttles to Miller
Park on game days, trivia night and music bingo make Kelly’s
Bleachers a fun hangout before, during and after the game, and even
on those rare, sad evenings without baseball. 5218 W. Bluemound
Road, (414) 258-9837,

DID YOU KNOW?

Story Hill might look like it jumped off the pages of
a children’s book, but the name actually came from Hiram Story, who
settled the land in the 1840s. Story discovered that mining the
stone beneath his farmland would be a bigger moneymaker than
farming, and he was right. He built a big house on the hill above
the quarry — hence the name, Story Hill.
